Essential, Scripture-Based Guidance for Christians Who Are Considering Missions Work What does it take to be a missionary? Is it enough to love God, communicate well, and enjoy overseas travel? Is every Christian who proclaims the gospel technically a missionary? Understanding the biblical definition and qualifications of this role can mean the difference between spiritual fruit and irresponsible--even if well-meaning--ministry endeavors.In this addition to the Church Questions series, Andy Johnson presents a clear-cut, gospel-centered standard for aspiring missionaries. First, he outlines the marks of a missionary: those commissioned and sent out for gospel work by a church. Next, he covers the specific responsibilities of missionaries demonstrated in Scripture. This brief guide also explains the importance of patient service in ministry, church membership and participation, and family considerations to help readers determine whether they are truly called and ready to serve God on the mission field. Brief, Accessible Resource: Easy-to-share guide uses Scripture and engaging stories to answer commonly asked questions about missions work Gospel-Centered Guidance: Examines biblical examples, including the Great Commission, and contemporary models, such as rapid-multiplication ministry methods, to demonstrate correct and incorrect approaches to missions A Great Resource for Church Members: Helps Christians understand the qualifications and responsibilities of faithful missionaries

Christmastime, 1921. Four senior girls from an elite preparatory school on the outskirts of Washington, D.C., set off after a terrible storm to witness the fury of a devastating flood at the nearby glen. When they spot a dark shape pass by in the raging creek, followed by a small white dress, the possibility they were bystanders to a drowning threatens their harmonious existence. Forest Glen's National Park Seminary, with its eccentrically designed buildings, lavish gardens, and classical statuary, is a place out of step with time, a cloistered bastion of wealth and privilege isolated from the realities of life beyond its forested campus. When an enigmatic New York industrialist arrives the morning after the flood with an unexpected offer to purchase the school, the haunting mystery at the glen is compounded by the Manhattan tycoon's true designs for the property and the private demons he hopes to exorcise during his visit. "Incident at Forest Glen" is an evocative, stylish thriller exploring the tension between the rigidity of academia and societal norms and the mysticism of the foreboding and untamed natural world surrounding the school. When these worlds collide, the results are tragic for the unprepared girls.

Sixty thousand men, two kings, one crown, a desolate plateau in Yorkshire, and multiple family feuds. The scene is set for the bloodiest battle ever to take place on British soil. Both sides have ordered that no quarter shall be asked or given. This epic trial of strength will take place near a tiny village called Towton, but history will come to know it as 'Bloody Meadow'.

Am I more of a disciple than a year ago? Am I a better disciple? How would I even know? The trouble with Christian discipleship is that it can be somewhat of a nebulous concept. Not knowing whether you can even measure these things, you have to trust the process: do certain things, engage in tried and trusted practices and then you can have greater confidence about what the end result will look like.A Rule of Life can help you live with intention and purpose in the present moment. It enables you to clarify your most important values and can help you live by them. This book offers you a simple Rule of Life to try out - one born out of 35 years of being a Christian and 20+ years a Church leader. But it also offers you the chance to draw up your own personal Rule.
